Douglas Murray: The left's self-hatred is driving their war to destroy the West | Will Cain Podcast

On this episode, Will sits down with New York Post Columnist and author of 'The War On The West' Douglas Murray, who explains why he believes that the history of Western Civilization is fundamentally good, and must be defended.

Douglas breaks down why segments of the progressive movement want to wage war on the pillars of our current civilization, and why this ideology has found its way into the mainstream in recent years. #FoxNews



The key political ideology comes through Critical Race Theory, with an out of context obsession with slavery and colonialism.

The only point about Western countries outside Europe, that one can take real issue with, is not slavery but the destruction of the native peoples in the countries that were colonised. It's sad these people have become marginalised in their home countries, but a good thing that all these countries around the world were snapped out of certain backward traditions that included human sacrifice (in South America) and where slavery was abolished by the West.

Another thing is that ALL significant civilisations engaged in territorial conquest. If the Aztecs, or even North American cultures had access to ships, steel weapons and guns in the distant past they would have preyed upon other cultures. When the West was weak during the 'Dark Ages' Islamic cultures preyed upon them, for centuries. What happened has happened. Some reconciliation or accommodation with native peoples is in order. The same is not true for ex-slaves or with the Islamist attackers. 

The truth of the situation is that all people do have the same opportunity in the West. If people of colour have a problem living in a majority white country they do have the option to move back to their countries of origin. It seems that the issue is simply one of being a member of a minority group. Black people waking up in an African certainly would not think of themselves as 'a black person' but as a national of their country. They would simply wake up and be a human being.   

The CRT based attacks on white westerners is heinous and must be stopped.
